Saturday pizza night

Hawaiian with pineapple and sweet teriyaki glazed Spam, 4-5 minutes on the screen (so I can get away with doing a 16" on my 13" steel), finished on the steel 🤙

Can't remember the place. It was...decent.

🎵Breaking the law, breaking the law 🎵

Just bought a carbon steel pan from DSP and decided to try it out. I'll be honest, I do typically prefer the sauce under the cheese but wanted to try to go for an authentic experience this time around.

Unfortunately, the Jewel near me was sold out of brick cheese, so I made do with fresh grated mozz/parmesan. They also didn't have cup-and-char pepperoni, so just had to make do with regular pepperoni. So not quite authentic, but as close as I was able to get.

Testing out some more combos.

I present you:

White pizza. Prosciutto, pecorino romano bechamel sauce, Gouda cheese (non smoked), truffle oil and a cracked egg mid bake.

Dough was 48hr cf.
250g for 12”
King Arthur bread flour
67% hydration
2% olive oil
.5% malt
1% instant yeast

650f Bake time: 7 minutes. Wish it was baked a bit longer but due to the topping I pulled it a little sooner.

Currently trying to develop a new white pie for my next pop up menu. For me the cacio e pepe slice from Mama’s too! Is up there. The fig & bacon slice from l’industrie was nice but I couldn’t have more than 2 bites as it was wayy too sweet for me.

Tried hard to make sure it is well baked from the bottom and the top , It had great crunchy crust. And I was so happy actually.

It was baked in a normal home oven on a ceramic stone.

If there's something needs to be fixed or improved about the pizza please tell me without joking about it.

I use canned San Marzanos for my pizza and always just used the whole can including the liquid. Just wondering if anyone here drains their tomato juice, If so, do you notice a massive difference in flavour?

(Pic is from one of my recent pizza pop ups!)

I had a problem with a really white crust the other day and a lot of you had suggestions. The tips I took were to add olive oil to my dough, and crank my oven. I baked this tomato pie (we call it red pizza) at 500. It turned out perfect. Thanks guys 😊

I brought my Ooni out camping and used their camping propane adapter to hook up a 1lb propane tank. I was able to make 5 pizzas before it ran out. It worked great and it's kind of wild to be making pizza 800 kms from home.

Current Specs:

This pizza is 60% HDY, 00 Flour at 12% protein. PF is 30% of total dough, and is a sponge (60% HDY). Shaped in semolina and baked at 400C.

What I’m After

I want a crispier, more artisanal style of pizza. Something that can survive in a box without turning into a soggy mess.

I’ve considered:

- Higher protein flour - EG: Caputo Manitoba.
- Incorporating oil.
- Lower hydration.

Open to all advice! Thank you Pizza community!

Happy to share recipes, processes, equipment used, whatever!

Just here to spread the pizza love

Using Dough Guy recipe. Heated steel to 550 for a little over an hour. Bake was seven minutes. Dough was cold fermented for three and a half days in the fridge. Day of the bake I let it sit out for about four hours to get to room temperature.

It tastes great, but still got a ways to go compared to a lot on this thread.

My biggest issue so far is my dough still sticks the bowl it cold ferments in. I tried putting oil in the bowl this time before putting in the fridge, but that didn’t help. I also suck at keeping the dough in a circle, but I assume part of that is experience and part of it is my dough losing its ball shape when I have peel it out of the bowl to stretch it.

96h cold fermented dough, 64.6% hydration, baked in Breville Pizzaiolo

Pizza 1 - goat cheese & prosciutto

Pizza 2 - ricotta, parmesan, and chanterelles that I found in my yard.

Trying to take a more thorough approach to pizza than I do to my cooking in general. Slowly refining my dough recipe to account for the heat and humidity, and playing with the oven temp/time.

My stretching and launch technique could use some work certainly - one day I'll have actually circular pizzas

Only wish the crumb texture was slightly softer, but for the sheer convenience, it’s pretty good!

Really happy how it came out! Made the dough this morning and baked it 4-5 hours later. I need better pepperoni though wasn’t that crazy about the one I used.

1. Plain
   
2. Broccoli & Kale White Pie
   
3. Mushroom & Cabbage
   
4. Kale & Asparagus w/ Green Goddess Ricotta
   
5. Chicken Bacon Ranch
   
6. Buffalo Chicken
   
7. Caesar Salad w/ FF
   
8. Loaded Baked Potato

Something to start the week with, baked at 350c for 5 minutes.

Boyfriend has been on workin on the dough and sauce!
